RuntimeWarning:You're running the worker with superuser privileges:this is absolutely not recommended - redis

I am using django+celery+redis,celery==4.4.0 in local it is working fine but when I am dockerizing it , I am getting the above error.
I am using following commands to run in local as well as inside container
**CMDs**

docker run -d -p 6379:6379 redis
flower -A nrn --port=5555
Any help is highly appreciated
*settings.py**
CELERY_ACCEPT_CONTENT = ['json']
CELERY_TASK_SERIALIZER = 'json'
CELERY_BROKER_URL = os.environ.get('redis', 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379/')

Take a look in the documentation. It's a warning, though, not an error (see the code). Running Celery under root is an error only when you allow pickle serialization which is not enabled by default (see here).
However, it's still the best practice to run Celery with lower privileges. In Docker (with Debian based image), I choose to run Celery under nobody:nogroup. I use this Dockerfile:
FROM python:3.6
ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 \
PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1
WORKDIR /srv/celery
COPY ./app app
COPY ./requirements.txt /tmp/requirements.txt
COPY ./celery.sh celery.sh
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir \
-r /tmp/requirements.txt
VOLUME ["/var/log/celery", "/var/run/celery"]
CMD ["./celery.sh"]
where celery.sh looks as follows:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
mkdir -p /var/run/celery /var/log/celery
chown -R nobody:nogroup /var/run/celery /var/log/celery
exec celery --app=app worker \
--loglevel=INFO --logfile=/var/log/celery/worker-example.log \
--statedb=/var/run/celery/worker-example#%h.state \
--hostname=worker-example#%h \
--queues=celery.example -O fair \
--uid=nobody --gid=nogroup
